The Trump administration appealed a US federal court ruling that blocked most of the president's sweeping import tariffs.
The federal court ruled that President Trump had overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board global levies, marking a significant setback to his trade policy.
The court clarified that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not confer 'unbounded authority' for the president to impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country.

Today 12:56 Key points summarised by AI

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
